First of all, I want to let everyone know that I'm the Frusion Breakfast Brawl Champion. If you click the above link you'll see that I hold both #1 and #2 on the Top Scores list (I misspelled "ENG" as "EG" for #1...)
Beat my score!
Went to Calgary for the weekend, spent much too much money. Sadly enough, I always do that. Sometimes I'm glad I live in Vulcan, and I think my bank account will agree with that.
Also, before the weekend the folks came out and my dad charged my car battery up and I was back on the road. Got the muffler replaced over the weekend, as there was a GIGANTIC hole in it. So far it's running okay. Let's hope it lasts.
Picked up the Jay-Z/Linkin Park compilation as well. I don't really like Jay-Z, but his partner stuff is great. Besides this mix, there's also a bootleg copy of "The Grey Album", a fan-made combination of Jay-Z's "Black Album" and The Beatles' "White Album." Yes, Jay-Z and the Beatles. Surprisingly the songs are quite decent.
Me and the cousins rented some movies as well, and bought some too. After much deliberation, and after turning down Frankenfish (much to my disappointment) we decided to get The Terminal. While we were standing in line I noticed the bargain bin of $0.99 movies, so we began scrounging through those and decided we would get the ones with the most awful names. We ended up with Tortilla Soup and A Murder of Crows. The latter we got more because my brother was hoping it was The Crow 2, and I was hoping it was the movie version of one of my favorite books. It was neither, but it was not bad.
Tortilla Soup, on the other hand, we had no idea at all what to expect. So, we took bets on what kind of movie it would be. Katie said Comedy, Chris said Classic, Jamie said Drama, and I said horror. It ended up being a comedy, so-so for the most part but excellent in a few specific moments.
There was also a period of about three minutes in the movie where the two characters onscreen talked ENTIRELY in Spanish. So we of course took it upon ourselves to make up the dialogue, which was all in all probably one of the most entertaining things about the movie.

Catherine: "How are our ads looking for this week?"
Hugh: "Hmm..."
Catherine: "Good, bad, or purple?"
Hugh: "Purple. Definitely purple."
Folks are in town for the weekend, visiting because it's their Spring Break. Which means a fresh replenishing of the nourishment department! Which was running seriously low. Yeah. Mmmmm free, good, actual food. Also going to Calgary for the weekend to visit the relatives, and probably check out a movie or four with the S-BOMB himself. And probably go to Denny's afterwards, or possibly Harvey's to visit Grog.
I'm starting to dislike these skins, because I think the fuck up the site when viewing it on a Mac. Hunter has told me that he can't view it at his work but that might be because he's on a 1984computer beast of a machine. However, I also cannot view my own site at work - it freezes up the computer, making me restart. HOWEVER this is only a recent occurrence, as I used to be able to view it fine. Who knows. The Archives are also all f**ked up, what with the Tagboard appearing there, which I have no idea how to fix.
Maybe I'll switch things up and make it simpler.
Or maybe I'll just roast Nick on a spit.

"You're turning a killing machine into a park and that's a wonderful opportunity."
- Barry Worbets, Parks Foundation, Calgary
Okay...first of all, what the hell kind of killing machine can be turned into a park?! And how many people are going to want to go to such a park? Sounds like a wonderful opportunity, alright. A wonderful opportunity to DIE!

What the hell? Ok, flipping through channels last week I saw Marty Janetty. Marty Janetty! Last I had seen of him he was flying through a pane glass window in a barbershop. And now this week we have...Shawn Michaels? And - some retarded Quebec team called La Resistance? We've gone back to the 1990s. :\

:: Letter to the Editor ::
Congratulations everyone. With the announcement that our sports teams will be called "The Wolfpack," we've officially crossed the line into the mind-numbingly generic. And here I thought we couldn't get any more drudgingly bland than "Thompson Rivers University." The Sun Demons was a distinct name. A unique name. A cool name, even! So when it came time to choose a suitable replacement, I'm glad that our think tank came up with the most overused, overdone theme in sports history. Timberwolves, Cougars, Coyotes...Wolfpack. And have you actually said the full name out loud? The TRU Wolfpack. My god. What are we, a rap group from Detroit? The name TRUly bites.

OH YEAHHHH!So I found out from Al this week that UCC (TRU, whatever) has announced that their sports teams will now be called, instead of the Sun Demons...
The Wolfpack.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Oh man. This is one of those moments where my mind temporarily overloads and shuts down, as there's simply just too many things to make fun of with this. The TRU Wolfpack. I LOVE IT! (in the sense that I absolutely hate it.)
The first and foremost mockery that springs to mind is that in back in WCW wrestling around 1999, there was a group called the Wolfpac. They were the "cool" rebel group at the time, wore a lot of red and did the "wolf" sign which was the slayer sign, except pointing the thumb and two middle fingers like a wolf's maw. Anyways, there were sorta ...rasta-gangsta themed. At least, one member, Konnan, was. As far as I can remember, the only things he said that weren't in spanish were "WE GONNA GET BOUTY BOUTY AND ROWDY ROWDY YO!!" or something ludicrous like that. I need to find a video clip of Konnan so I can submit him to TRU as the new mascot.

So I picked up the Calgary Sun papers from the weekend to read today over my lunch break. The Sunday paper had its regular "Death Pages" which consisted of the following stories:
PAIR DODGED BULLETS - Couple watching TV are interrupted by bullets shattering through front window. The reason? Completely unknown.
SEVEN DIE IN CHURCH SERVICE MASSACRE - Seven people killed. At a Church. At a MEMORIAL SERVICE. Wtf!
COPS EYE SUSPECTED GANGLAND SHOOTING - Calgary gangs blah blah shootings blah blah drive-by blah blah blah.
JUDGE-KILLING SUSPECT ARRESTED - Oh this one is grand. Let's see if I can summarize correctly.
A man being escorted into court for rape somehow stole a deputy's gun, shot her in the face, then killed the judge and a court reporter, and then killed another deputy outside. He then stole a reporter's car and escaped. He eventually gave himself up, after holding a woman hostage in her apartment. FBI also suspect that this guy shot and killed a US Immigration and Customs agent about 25 km away from the woman's apartment, and stole the agent's truck, pistol and badge.
...what is this, a Batman story? Shoots the judge and escapes unharmed? Were the guards asleep? Or just blind?
And it gets even worse. Apparently, the day before the courtroom shootings, investigators found a shank (homemade knife) fashioned from a DOORKNOB in each of this guy's shoes. Now, call me crazy, but after trying to sneak KNIVES into the courtroom, you'd think they'd buff up security. Apparently not!
Also, the main reason he was able to get the deputy's gun was because he wasn't handcuffed when entering the courtroom. Why? Because law requires defendants not be handcuffed when entering so that the sight of cuffs "do not unfairly influence the jury."
Boy, it's a good thing those jury members didn't see any handcuffs. Because seeing a judge and civilian gunned down in front of their eyes, and then being held hostage for like 15 minutes by a gun-wielding maniac (one that had tried to sneak homemade knives into the courtroom the day before) - that's all fine. I'm sure that didn't influence their feelings at all.

Sometime down the line I am going to change my name to MIKEA. For that is truly my truest goal in life - to serve as a low-cost "stylish" outlet with merchandise bearing hideously ridiculous names.
My most agonizing Ikea moment came when my cousin and I saw a lamp called NOT. This in itself is not so bad. It is the sign that proclaimed (and I quote) "NOT $20"
Me: "Hey look, how much is that lamp?"
Chris: "Well it's.......NOT $20...? What the hell?!"
In MIKEA, the store of the future (for robots), you will be able to get it all. Need a lampshade? Try the deluxe TUNAWINDSHIELD model! A bedsheet? Clearly you need to get our ZAMZAMMAMA set. Or maybe the PYUOALISDAMANETISAWIQUIDEL? It's a bowl.
Has anyone else besides me noticed that Simple Plan's latest song, "Shut Up," sounds exactly like the 54-40 song "Casual Viewing"? Also, why the hell am I recognizing 54-40 songs? Just now, I couldn't even remember the band name. All I could think of was WD-40.
